Lonely Poem by Mark Bell

Heart with no window
Lacks empathy and joy
Ten million Trojan horses
Lonely as the crying boy

Eyes with no windows
Hope and despair unfurl
Achilles flightless arrows
Lonely as the crying girl

Touch with no window
Lovers with out wings
Helens such warm beauty
The lonely shall not sing

Passion has no windows
The roses refuse to grow
Boats in the harbour sinking
As the cold winds shall blow

Lonely as the girl
Lonely as the boy
No open windows
A life without joy
